year was a job. i wanted to support the achievement of what it was, meaning a lotto retain the achievement of what it was, meaning a lot to retain their title. to get the world championship back, in london, to come here from always going to be special for me. are you looking back on this race in a positive way. everything you wanted it to be hearing in mind everything that has happened? so happy i got the medal i wanted. that is all i came here to do. i knew i was in good form, did not know how good until the heats. i knewl good form, did not know how good until the heats. i knew i was onto something insane. is the world re cord something insane. is the world record always on the back of your mind, asa record always on the back of your mind, as a sprinter? particularly the rivalry have the holder? that world record is not going to stand for very long. they don't understand the very long. the thing that does stand for a long time his medals, what we get to look back on, keeping oui’ what we get to look back on, keeping our fans. world records are lovely as an athlete. i will look back,

kamlish, the same classesjonnie peacock racing yesterday. she set a new world record in this morning? heats. great chance of collecting a first major title. thank you very much indeed. enjoy what is to come. next to the cricket. south africa have levelled the series against england after a thumping win in the second test in nottingham. 340 runs the difference. chasing unlikely a74 to win in two days. england didn't last two sessions. alistair cook's 42 england's top score in the entire match. get practising to save the game, or chase down and almost impossible world record 474. england's batsmen will need

to be at their best. the problem, south africa's best has been much better in the second test. vernon philander fired up and firing them down. getting keatonjennings and gary ballance inside the first a0 minutes. setting the tone, england needing a garden angel to get out of this one. chris morris' ball to new england captainjoe root, getting past the guard of anyone. the tourists were too good. you can hide your eyes, the only englishman with any success, alastair cook, soon out. on 42. another morris special. with it the game was surely over by lunch. definitely over straight after that. jonny bairstow and moeen ali making it easier for the south africans, both playing for shots and out. ben stokes a bit more unlucky.

philander at his best with another piece of brilliance. if only england has shown such form. all out for 3pm. a 340 run defeat. not good enough with the bat, we prepared well for this game, two good practice days. did not assess the situation is quickly enough, something we have to work on. embarrassing first loss for root. his colleagues will have to get practising ever the next test. joe root not the only man to give a fairly honest assessment. some of the social media reaction coming in from england captains of the past. michael vaughan. england losing six of their last

eight test matches. kevin pietersen, he may have a foot in either camp. former south africa captain. will they be able to repeat that when the ladies meet tomorrow in the semifinals of the women's world cup? england against south africa is something of a rematch. let's hear from heather knight. would not be human if they were not nervous. important to relax, trust what we have done, trust our skills. confident we can put in a strong performance. they result of the games you want. on thursday the first two rounds of

starting with the man from southport, tommy fleetwood. going to be an experience for me i will never forget. very rare you get a tournament this close to them. everyone wants to talk about that, it isa everyone wants to talk about that, it is a massive privilege to be playing at a tournament so close to home. and it being the british open. great week for me no matter what. nice to come back here, i won from the wrong side of the draw. i played great committing a great shot on the 7ist great committing a great shot on the 71st hole. anything you dream about doing as a kid to win a major. a very satisfying feeling to get my second major here. second open. great memories. happy memories for padraig harrington. the women's european championship kicked off off yesterday in the netherlands. england and scotland are in the same group and begin their tournament against each other on wednesday. sarah mulkerrins is there, so sarah,

are the fans behaving themselves? just about, you would not expect anything less. in utrecht, the headquarters, the netherlands, the most playing their opener last night, getting off to the perfect start, 1—0 win. the town painted orange, there was a fan zone, a walk and cycle to the stadium. a feeling it is ramping up. we are starting to hear more english and scottish accents ahead of the big match for england and scottish fans on wednesday. we feel the locals have warmed up for this tournament, embracing women's football. the english and scottish fans starting to arrive. they will be pleased the netherlands won, along with denmark. he is to look forward to today? we

have a great game. we are here where germany are taking on sweden. one game drawing to a close, the other game drawing to a close, the other game between russia and italy. russia's leading that one to artem dyzu ba. —— russia's leading that one to artem dyzuba. —— leading that won 2—0. russia have never won a women's european football match. that could bea european football match. that could be a victory for them. the big match, the match of the group stages, germany, the reigning champions, up against sweden. you have to go back to 1923 for the last time someone other than germany won this. norway, in 1993. germany are powerful force. a lot of new players coming through. sweden runners—up in the olympics, can they go back better? roger federer says he still

considers pete sampras as the main man in wimbledon history. even though he's overtaken the american's record when he won the men's singles title for an eighth time yesterday. it came 14 years after a famous victory over sampras. but that match is still high up in federer‘s thoughts. it is very strange to me, he will a lwa ys it is very strange to me, he will always be my hero, even though i surpassed him at wimbledon. he will a lwa ys surpassed him at wimbledon. he will always be my guy. after my match in 2001, if you told me i would surpass him,| 2001, if you told me i would surpass him, i never thought that would be possible in my wildest dreams. i ta ke possible in my wildest dreams. i take it as it is. i run with it, enjoy it. people and fans happy for me again yesterday. just another incredible day at wimbledon. wimbledon has been too kind to me over all these years. now being the

record—holder, for an eighth wimbledon, i will always be that quy- wimbledon, i will always be that guy. very special. pete remains my hero for life. how tempted ie by the prospect of being world number one ain? prospect of being world number one again? almost certain you are rafa nadal will take overfrom again? almost certain you are rafa nadal will take over from andy murray in the near future. at the very least a magnificent storyline. a 3—way, maybe four wave race, with rafa, when andy drops his number one ranking. if all of a sudden and the start winning again we have to start winning. if he starts talking points, we will get there. i hope it is me, not a rafa, points, we will get there. i hope it is me, nota rafa, it points, we will get there. i hope it is me, not a rafa, it would mean a lot to me to get back to number one. i have to speak to the team, desired i going to chase it for the near future. maybe get in the world number one at least one more time in my career. for is the goal to finish

the year as number one, even bigger deal. maybe that makes a difference. number one for a week, or at the year end. number one for a week, or at the yearend. i number one for a week, or at the year end. i have to have a bit of a meeting, discussion with my team about that. 35, still ambitious. so federer is targeting the number one spot from murray, and britain'sjoanna konta has moved up to number four in the world in the new rankings out today. konta reached the semi—finals of the ladies singles at wimbledon before losing to venus willams. she was ranked seventh before the tournament started. stephen miller

elsewhere the international athletics federation says it's suspended former namibian sprinter and council member frankie fredericks. the four—time olympic silver medallist is being investigated by the athletics integrity unit over payments he received from papa massata diack, the son of the former—iaaf president. fredericks denies the allegations. and liverpool's echo arena will host this year's sports personality of the year awards. the ceremony will take place on sunday december the 17th in front of an audience of some 11 thousand people, and be broadcast live on bbc one. nowjack burnell is a name you may remember from last year's olympics — but not for any medal—winning performances. the open water swimmer was left furious after being controversially disqualified just meters from the finish line for fighting off another athlete who he alleges was dragging him back. well burnell came pretty close to walking away from the sport but will on tuesday aim to prove he is the best in the sport at i'm absolute disgrace, we come to the end, i felt a i'm absolute disgrace, we come to the end, ifelt a hand on my leg. i'm absolute disgrace, we come to the end, i felt a hand on my leg. in the end, i felt a hand on my leg. in the end, i felt a hand on my leg. in the end i was disqualified, unbelievable. nearly one year on

from his mood has not improved. he is still haunted by the officials and the tunisian who he believes ended his olympic dream. and the tunisian who he believes ended his olympic dreamlj and the tunisian who he believes ended his olympic dream. i went through all kinds of nations, angry, frustrated, depressed. four years of ha rd frustrated, depressed. four years of hard work down the drain. i will even be laying in bed before going to sleep, i can sometimes feel his hand on my leg, just at that point. it sends shivers down my spine. he spent three months out of the water, after the olympics, considered quitting the sport altogether. eventually drawn back at the prestigious abu dhabi world cup. the best bounceback possible. beating the divas champion, the bronze medallist. he has been for a roller—coaster of emotions through the last 12 months. his road to reopen redemption begins in budapest on tuesday morning. when it takes the waters of the lake he hopes success will be a kick—start to a sustained period of domination in

the sport for him. for me now, a case of looking forward to try to put what happened in the olympics as much as possible at my mind. i'm here to make a statement, to win everything possibly i can to september. it is going to be relentless. tom daley and daniel goodfellow have just missed out on a medal at the ten metre synchro platform final at the world diving champion ships. did not score as well as they hope to move their fifth not score as well as they hope to move theirfifth die. not score as well as they hope to move their fifth die. they could not finish off in the top three. —— dive. olivia breen has won a ninth gold medal at the para athletic championships in london. nor medal prospects to come this evening. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. from neither team, goodbye.
